Based on your location and descent, try using a Thor. It's an Irish-developed vehicle-mounted quad launcher for Starstreak missiles - close AA or S2S, super-advanced target-acquisition and laser guidance, and the Starstreak itself breaks into 3 component rockets - each with a tungsten penetrator - before impact.

With a name like "Machowitz," I could be related...
Naw, I'm not him, I just love his show. And with Rochey writing this story, and an Irish-designed system, I HAD to throw that in.

I think it'd be a bit difficult to intergrate 21st century Earth vehicles with an advenced alien military.

And yet, we THOUGHT it would be weird to have a completely alien species - whose vocal apparatus isn't even the same as ours - who speak Irish Gaelic...

Why not? A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, people were using Stirling SMGs.Rochey wrote:

Yes, but they made different noises!

Yeah, well. In the 41st millenium they speak Latin, so I reserve the right to use Gaelic.And yet, we THOUGHT it would be weird to have a completely alien species - whose vocal apparatus isn't even the same as ours - who speak Irish Gaelic...

IMPERATUS LUX!<yes, a 40k reference

Is that a Warhammer 40k reference?
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2007 6:35 pm
yes it is
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2007 7:10 pm
It was. Warhammer 40K is set in the forty first millenium, and the language they speak is often represented as Latin (even though its a completely different language), that's where I got the idea of using a little known language (Gaelic) to represent the Laithan language.

Ah. I never got too involved in it, although I played the miniature wargame once or twice, about a century ago - yay carnage!
